I love Cro-mags. I wouldn't expect any less of my favorite criminal scumbag bad! Well, slightly behind blood for blood, who just raped a 13 year old girl.

Assault with a deadly weapon is not "metal". It's not cool, or even close to it. It's despicable, deplorable, criminal behavior that borders on sociopathic. Sounds like he was high as fuck at the time, but that doesn't matter. Dude should be locked up. Period.

This story is decades old. There is bad blood here that goes way, way back - and unfortunately, a lot of the fans of this band have taken it upon themselves to take sides in the feud as well. It makes for a bunch of ego-stroking, juvenile horseshit if you ask me. It isn't cool in the least. It's an unfortunate distraction from the fact the "Age of Quarrel" might just be the finest hardcore album ever released, and the band could have skyrocketed into the stratosphere in terms of fame and influence, but instead they just flushed it all down the toilet and some of them even lost their identities in the process. It's fucking sad, is what it is.

Happy birthday, darling. We love you very very very very very very much

WE... as a band are truly sorry for the way it all turned out in every regard even the ex-member who's family is now effected by his choices. Our prayers go out to them as well as Mike C., and the others who were hurt, but it was 'his' choice to come to our concert with a hunting knife, standing by our dressing door. Who knows what his actual intent was, obviously he wasn't there with it to cut bread for a peace offering as he was heard saying outside he was putting an end to us playing without him. Let's move on now & stop the trash-talking. Keep that PMA - that's what we are all about.
